Ongoing problem rears it's head again!!
My car has roughly 13,500 miles on it. Since the day I purchased it, it has had this very annoying problem. I tried to convince my self it is normal (so has two dealers!). I really don't think that it is normal, but I have no idea what it could be for sure. I've searched through all of the threads concerning the SC IC pump and clutch, but never found a definitive answer.
When accelerating from a stop leisurely, at about 2300 rpm (when the sc kicks in), the car surges aggressively. But, it's not really a surge, more like a major draw on the engine. It is definitely not smooth like the car should be. The SC kicking in should be transparent, but it is far from that. It's not the trans. Passengers always ask what the deal is and if there is something wrong. I just tell them that it is the SC kicking in.
When accelerating abrubtly, the problem is less noticeable, almost non-existent.
This is a very annoying problem and really makes the car less enjoyable because I'm dreading the possiblility of it being something I can't correct my self. I hate taking it to the incompetent dealerships.
Any information or guidance is much appreciated!
